Hitmaker Moby is selling his house to raise funds for charity.

The We Are All Made of Stars hitmaker purchased the New York home earlier this year but rarely stays there, and now he feels the pad should have a new owner – and he plans to donates the funds to a good cause.

The place is currently on the market for $1.3 million.

“Ok, this might seem odd… I have a beautiful house in Pound Ridge, NY,” he writes on Instagram. “It’s one of the most beautiful (mid-century modern) houses I’ve seen, but to be honest, I’m rarely there. So, I’m going to sell it and take the money to: support progressive political candidates, support my animal rights foundation, produce documentaries, and fund scholarships…”

Moby has increased his charity efforts in recent months and in June he sold off his record collection to benefit the Physicians Committee for ResponsibleMedicine, which helps raise funds for and awareness about the treatment of chronic diseases.
